Steve:
I didn't make an entire splash moulding as I could see that the profile I
had of the top of the baggage bay was not an exact fit. What I did before
I put the top on was to mark where the top of the bay would go along the
edge. Then I made several fiberglass angles and bonded them to the top of
the fuselage to match up with the backside of the top of the baggage bay.
That way I had something to push against when laying up the front side of
the mount. After the front had cured I went to the backside with short
layups to go around the backside of the D shape. It wasn't as big a hassle
as puts it to be.
